“I deny the resurrection of Christ every time I do not serve at the feet of the oppressed, each day that I turn my back on the poor; I deny the resurrection of Christ when I close my ears to the cries of the downtrodden and lend my support to an unjust and corrupt system.” — Peter Rollins

“We’re never going to be “family safe” – especially if you’re committed to sharing God’s message of hope with the world. Just ask the house church pastors in China, or Christian leaders in Darfur. Following Jesus is costly and involves a risk.” — Phil Cooke

Phil Cooke is a writer, television producer, and media consultant based in Burbank, California, as well as a critic of some aspects of contemporary American and American-influenced Christian culture. He is an evangelical Christian and, as Scott McClellan of Collide Magazine wrote, “At times, Cooke may appear to be Christian media’s biggest critic but, as he is quick to point out, he criticizes because he loves.” Follow him on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/PhilCooke

“This is what happens when you have laws that target people arbitrarily, rules that are administered unevenly and often treat people unfairly—people stop coming. Not terrorists, not criminals, normal people stop coming. School children.” — Elliot Hannon

“President Donald Trump is incurious, ignorant, and ill-informed. He hides this with rudeness, bluster, and lies. He’s a bull-shitter, and he’s had lots of practice. Being Trump means never having to say you’re sorry. In his unapologetic blustering, Trump echoes the foreign leader he seems to admire most: Vladimir Putin. His unwillingness to admit when he’s wrong, his showboating to hide uncomfortable truths, are stunting him.” — William Astore

William Astore is a retired lieutenant colonel (USAF), professor of history, and writer/blogger.

“In a world where the powers thrive via a divide-and-conquer strategy, nothing could be more dangerous than circling our wagons and retreating with those who share our bias about the world (be it “liberal” or “conservative”).” — Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

“American fascism combines the nationalism, illiberalism, bigotry, and violence of Hitler or Mussolini with unique aspects of American culture that have made the United States the most potent cultural force the world has ever seen. America’s main export is its culture and time will tell whether American fascism follows suit.” — Erika Heidewald

Erika Heidewald is a pro-democracy political activist with The Rose Resistance, writer, and filmmaker.

About Us

The Resistance is a curated reblog (and occasional blog). We aggregate salient quotes and excerpts of articles on politics, Christianity, religion, tribalism, culture, music activists, current events, new movements, hopeful stories, and emerging progressive voices that we discover and feel compelled to share.

As Christians and people of faith we can no longer be silent. Opposing voices have been the loudest voices defining who we are for too long. We are highly critical. — We are critical because we love. We are the local, neighborhood, grassroots revolution.

We encourage you to share these quotes to Facebook and Twitter, like/heart your favourites and read the articles they come from. We always attribute the original authors. Read more
